@Chris-WWII-Invicta-Rex Hello Chris, and welcome to the forums! Your game seems very interesting! Perhaps you wouldn’t mind giving more details about your game such as the Kickstarter page, a lower res map, or a rulebook?
I hope you have a great stay at the forums!
@Nuts Welcome, fellow newer players! I hope everyone is having a good time here.
@djensen I see what you did there.
I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what do you think of my ideas? Some are harder to implement than others, but I’m still curious.
@djensen All of them seem interesting, as long as you get AI summaries to work properly, Apple sort of made that feature look bad. Here are some ideas to consider:
Dynamic Forum Icons: Many Icons on the forums are just speech bubbles, which takes away some of the identity of the games. Instead, you could have each icon sort of represent the games. (North Africa could have a silhouette of Libya and Egypt, Anniversary could have a 25th or 40th, etc.)
“Pinned” Categories: What I mean by this is that users can right-click categories and “pin” them to the top of the forum page. The reason why the pinning is air quoted is because it would only show up on that users end (If I “pinned” a category, only I could see it).
Themes: While it could just be light and dark mode, I think it would be cool to have ones based off of Axis and Allies games. For example, 1984 Classic would have almost like that 80s paint style, 1914 could have the gradient of the map over a tan background and have trenches and gas masks at the bottom. This is just another thing that would add flavor.
I hope you consider these additions!
@Faramir Even though I feel there should be some small units in Sub-saharan Africa and Madagascar, I guess I understand not including them to keep it similar to the original. I’ll have to try your rules out when I get the chance to see how it plays.
@Faramir Wasn’t French Equatorial Africa controlled by the Free French? Also, I’m not sure how to feel about the new Axis sub-saharan territories not having any units. While they were significantly weaker than their British counterparts, there should still be some combat down there. Here’s some suggestions for these territories (Not playtested yet, so you may want to run a few rounds with these changes and modify them as you go.):
GERMANY 1941 (36 IPCS):
ITALY 1941 (11 IPCS):
BRITAIN 1941 (40 IPCS):
GERMANY 1942 (39 IPCS):
BRITAIN 1942 (29 IPCS):
These are just some small suggestions for a more accurate/entertaining Sub-Saharan Africa. Other than this, your rulebook seems very well thought out! I’ll try it out when I get the chance. Good job!
@Charles-Fontaine I can’t find anything about the protectorate being formed in 1939, only 1881. However, I guess you were right about Egypt. I still think South Africa should be labeled as British though…
Also, you could use MediaFire for the map, I’m pretty sure they allow up to 2GB for free.
@barnee Wow, that’s certainly different! Some ideas I have is clicking the user icon or the menu icon. I don’t have it yet, so I cant help too much yet.
(Also, this new menu in the screenshot looks weird)
@barnee
Perhaps I haven’t got the update yet, but it is still next to the notification bell and user icon on the top right of the screen.
Hope this helped!
@Charles-Fontaine Egypt and Union of South Africa were British Dominions, Tunisia was a French protectorate.

Dang, the map is larger than 8GB and a 91-page rulebook? Holy smokes that’s massive! Thanks for the rulebook.
@Charles-Fontaine If they’re free, can’t you send the map and rules here? I’m pretty sure you can send through a platform like Mediafire.
Besides that, it looks pretty solid! Looks interesting, especially due to the game’s scale. Although, I must ask: Why are Egypt, South Africa, and Tunisia neutral?
Good job on bringing back your old game!
@FranceNeedsMorePower As it says on page 31 of the rulebook, AAA can kill aircraft for a two or less.
For its usefulness, it depends how many people are building aircraft and for what rate. Typically. I find the unit excellent when up against bombers (Then again, it could just be my luck.)
I think the possible reason for why they cost three is because, at least in my experiences weren’t incredibly useful in other games. I personally really like these changes.
@General-6-Stars Captivating… hope to see more updates!
@SuperbattleshipYamato Interesting…
I like this rule a lot. seeing how it’ll be a nice minor balancing measure for the Axis.
@Steiner Finish it if you want, this looks sick!
@DamonDeluca Welcome to the forum, DamonDeluca! I’m sure you’ll have a great time around here. Also, what 1918 game is it, Storm in the West?
@djensen I’m very curious about this game (especially the new units), so I’ll definitely have to check it out!
